Top Wilder Ranch State Park Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous location. Delicious food. Room cleaning was immaculately done. Great lobby for coffee and the woman who made coffee in the am was a joy! Delicious breakfast treats. Has an amazing dinner also"

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel!"

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Clean room, daily room cleaning."

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at Carousel Beach! Literally next door to the Boardwalk. Rooms were well maintained and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was simple but more than enough for our need. Would happily recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to Santa Cruz."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and great customer service"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed out time at this hotel. We had a room with a great balcony and view of the beach and the ocean. Very relaxing and enjoyable time. If I had a couple minor complaints, it would be: 1.) the Wifi is terrible. I had to use my phone instead. Fortunately I have unlimited data on my phone, but if that were not true it might have been an issue, 2.) the coffee in the lobby is not good. Coffee pods in the rooms are better, but they don't give you enough, and (like many hotels) they don't give you enough water bottles. We had to bring our own. Otherwise, great stay. We will likely be back!"

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!"

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Very good and well-run lodging. Very clean and well maintained. Downstairs room was dark and not well lighted. Shower water volume was less than ideal--water saving to excess? Upstairs breakfast room (no elevator, not accessible) is bright and cheerful. Breakfast somewhat better than average--waffle machines, fresh apples, bananas, and oranges, cold peeled hard-boiled eggs, but too much bread and not enough protein. And weekdays breakfast ends at 9 a.m., too early for vacationers but just fine for business travelers."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"The location and view were awesome . All the front staff and valet guys were friendly and helpful . Loved it .. Cheers"
